Osimhen is my brother – Lookman speaks after striker’s outburst

Ademola Lookman has downplayed concerns about any tension with Victor Osimhen during Nigeria’s 4-0 win over Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 at Fes Sports Complex

Osimhen, who scored twice, appeared frustrated after Lookman missed a passing option, sparking brief tension before the Galatasaray striker was substituted in the 70th minute.

Speaking after the match, Lookman emphasized that team unity remained the priority. “Victor is our number one guy,” he said. “He’s a top striker, vital to us. Moments like that happen, but they don’t change our togetherness.

“I play for the badge and my teammates; assists or goals, the team comes first. Victor’s hunger drives us. We understand each other and keep pushing. We stay calm, respect decisions, and focus on the next game.”
